The Champions League has seen Newcastle at its finest, complete with the surreal vision of Sean Longstaff upstaging Kylian Mbappe heu
There is a temptation to imagine Dan Burn is still somewhere in the Tyneside sky, soaring above Milan Skriniar to head in against Paris Saint-Germain heu
There is a similar temptation to say that Newcastle were brought down to earth by Borussia Dortmund heu
It may be more accurate to say Eddie Howe never left it heu
He met one of his most celebrated predecessors, Kevin Keegan, on Monday heu
The former Magpies boss was a dreamer heu
“You have to be,” said Howe, with Keegan’s example leading him to entertain the prospect of winning the Champions League heu
But Howe isn’t a dreamer, not really, anyway heu
A day, a defeat and a downpour later, he reflected: “We have to be at our best to win and if you dip below that it is tough to get results at this level heu
” And in this pool, the most competitive of all, Newcastle have to be at their best to claim victory in a match, let alone the entire competition heu
They were against Paris Saint-Germain; they were not against Dortmund heu
At a stroke – the right boot of Felix Nmecha, replacing Jude Bellingham this season, or of bad luck, as Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon both struck the woodwork – they may have been rebranded: potential winners, the team who tore PSG apart, could instead exit early heu
They now have successive away games, with the evidence that Dortmund are well equipped to play against them ahead of a trip to Germany next heu
“We're up against elite teams,” Howe said heu
“You make half a mistake and get punished heu
” If there is a truth to that – and Nmecha’s winner was scarcely the consequence of a glaring error – the greater issue was that Newcastle did not reach their heights heu
“We probably weren’t at our best and in this competition we have to be heu
” Howe said heu
They have days when they overwhelm opponents: 4-1 against PSG, 6-1 against Tottenham heu
But their quality is most evident when allied with a blur of energy heu
And when there isn’t that synergy of physical and technical that makes them appear unstoppable, they are a fundamentally workmanlike side who heu betray their origins heu
Which, as they spent much of a 1-0 loss to Dortmund with six players on the pitch who Howe inherited, is a group who have overachieved: look beyond the £400m spend, the concept of Saudi Arabian heu sportswashing and the grandiose ambitions, and some of them were in a relegation battle two years ago heu

But if there were symbolic substitutions of the locals Longstaff and Burn, stripped of the superhuman powers they somehow possessed against PSG, perhaps the reality is that they could have been beaten twice in three games heu
Nick Pope’s heroics brought a point in Milan; he was similarly good against Dortmund but in vain heu
They have drawn a blank twice in three matches heu
They had a lone, late shot on target in San Siro heu
While they hit the woodwork twice, they only actually had three on target against Dortmund, and just one in the last 80 minutes heu
Alexander Isak leaves the pitch following an injury (AFP via Getty Images)“In the second half the ball just wouldn’t go in for us,” Howe said heu
It was a legitimate lament, yet there are days when a shortage of natural creativity, of game-changing flair, of a natural No 10 can threaten to be their undoing heu
Edin Terzic arrowed in on Newcastle’s strengths heu
“A team that was pressing high with a very intense approach,” the Dortmund manager noted heu
It is a strategy that can serve Newcastle well but running alone did not unlock the Bundesliga’s runners-up heu
Moving Kieran Trippier into midfield in the second half was an attempt to get United’s best creator into a more advanced role heu
He may be required there more often heu
Sandro Tonali was not hired as a fantasista but he was designed to bring an injection of class heu
But his season seems over: not officially yet, but a ban beckons heu
Elliot Anderson has joined the injury list heu
In the forward line, Newcastle, already without Harvey Barnes for months, seem to be losing Jacob Murphy for a similar time with a dislocated shoulder heu
For Alexander Isak, a recurrence of a groin strain means he will play again soonest, but be out for a while heu
They are starting to look short of players heu
“There are some tired bodies,” Howe said heu
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe looks on during a miserable night for Newcastle (EPA)And Newcastle can require a physical edge, especially in meetings of evenly-matched teams heu
“A lesson in how fine the margins are going to be,” Howe rued heu
Particularly in Group F: this pool, of pedigree and money, of former winners and clubs who aspire to join them in that select group, may be the most intriguing heu
It is a product of circumstances heu
Newcastle’s lack of a recent record in Europe meant they were fourth seeds heu
Now they are plunged into peril heu
“The table looks very, very tight,” Howe said; his side kicked off in first, finished the night in third and could be out of the competition before they host AC Milan in it heu
They will always have Paris, but now the danger is their Champions League campaign in effect ends in the French capital heu

Pakistan’s future in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 looks uncertain following their latest loss against Afghanistan, as the tournament heads into the second half heu
The 1992 champions have a chance to make it to the semi-finals of World Cup 2023, but their qualification will depend on the results of other teams heu
Pakistan, under the captaincy of Babar Azam, kick-started World Cup 2023 with two back-to-back victories heu
Pakistan won their opening match against the Netherlands in Hyderabad, before completing a World Cup-record run chase against Sri Lanka at the same venue heu
Pakistan, however, suffered a massive slip in form since their meeting against India, the hosts of World Cup 2023, on 14 October heu
A poor batting performance saw them get bowled out for 199 against India, who comfortably won the game by seven wickets inside 31 overs at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium heu

Pakistan’s net run rate fell to -0 heu
400 after suffering three consecutive losses in the ongoing 50-over World Cup heu
But Azam’s side is still in the top four with six points from five matches, with four more games to go in the group stage heu
Pakistan are now facing South Africa next in Chennai, followed by Bangladesh, New Zealand and England heu
India, New Zealand and South Africa have been on another level this campaign and the three sides already have one foot in the semi-finals heu
The fourth spot, currently occupied by Australia, is still up for grabs heu
Here are the different scenarios under which Pakistan can qualify for the semis:Pakistan win all remaining four matches – 6 wins, 12 pointsThe South Asian side’s best chance of making it to the last four is by winning all their remaining four games heu
This will take their points tally to 12 heu
But it will also mean, Pakistan need to overcome both New Zealand and South Africa, two of the top three teams heu
Even if Pakistan win the next four matches, they will still need Australia to lose one or two games out of their remaining four heu
If the Aussies win each of their upcoming four matches, they’ll qualify ahead of Pakistan heu
Pakistan win three of their four matches – 5 wins, 10 pointsIf Pakistan lose one out of their coming four matches, this case will complicate their chance of making it to the knockout stage heu
In this scenario, Pakistan will want Australia to lose at least two out of their remaining four group games heu
If this happens, the fate of the two sides will then be decided by the net run rate heu
However, if Australia lose three of their last four matches, Pakistan will take the fourth position, or even third, which looks highly unlikely though heu
Pakistan win two of their four matches – 4 wins, 8 pointsIf Pakistan manage just two wins from their remaining four matches, the Men in Green may very well be considered eliminated from the tournament heu
But due to the complicated nature of the points table at this stage, there is a possibility that one team could qualify for the semi-final even with four wins heu
However, such a circumstance requires multiple other results to work in their favour heu
Pakistan win one of their four matches – 3 wins, 6 pointsPakistan will be knocked out of the World Cup 2023 heu
Pakistan lose all four matches – 2 wins, 4 pointsPakistan will be eliminated from the tournament heu
